I would think that if a sysadmin said that there is a dictionary and none is
present, then the system should scream loudly and not start up as it
increases the potential for someone to choose a poor password.

Of course, what should be the action if the system starts up, then the 
sysadmin deletes the dictionary - should kadmin not allow a password
file change?
